RE: Drop a 340 in for $1400 or mod the 273
i agree...it took me quite a bit of hunting to find a 340 block...it seems that there are two types of 340s for sale..
1. junk blocks. they have cylinder scoring, if not worse...hell, i have one with a hole in the number 8 cylinder wall...these are the only "cheap 340s" you can get without some patient hunting..
2. already built blocks. it sounds nice, right? unfortunately, many 340 block owners have built them up with the best parts, and youre going to pay dearly for them...
the 273 can be built to be very strong, but its not cheap, and the 340 would be the better choice..if you can find one for a reasonable price.
